Summary:
How do cities plan for the unplanned? Do cities plan for recovery from every possible sudden shock? How does one prepare a plan for the recovery after a tragedy, like the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York? The book discovers the systematic features that contribute to the success of planning institutions. In cities filled with uncertainty and complexity, planning institutions effectively tackle unexpected and sudden change by relying on the old and the familiar, rather than the new and the innovative. The author argues that planning programs institutions were successful because they were bureaucratic, and relied on standardized routines, rigorous sets of established regimes, familiar programs, and institutionalized hierarchies. Also contrary to popular perception, neither the leaders at the top of the institutions nor those workers at the grassroots level were the most important in the implementation of such routines. The key actors were middle managers, because they knew the institutional structures inside out, what the routines were and how to use them, and were successful go-betweens between national governments and grassroots community groups. Case studies from Mexico City, Los Angeles and New York provide a deeper understanding of urban planning processes. The case studies reveal that systematic institutional analysis helps us understand what works in planning, and why. They also demonstrate the manner in which institutional routines serve as powerful and effective tools for addressing novel situations.

Summary:
The art of producing color in movies is a fascinating process with a long history. Many people don’t realize that, as early as the 1890s, much of silent cinema was in color. They also may not know that women were the main workforce behind the techniques that first produced these effects, a tradition that continued as the practice evolved. Breakthroughs in color technology have created ongoing opportunities for filmmakers to experiment with new forms of narrative and emotional storytelling. Spectacular, psychological and sensory, color has become an integral part of the cinematic experience. From the earliest hand-painted films to Technicolor and today’s digital cinema, Color in Motion takes readers on a journey through the evolution and significance of color in film. Presenting insightful analysis, engaging case studies and inspiring conversations with scholars and experts in the field, with topics ranging from animation to the intersections of color and race in cinema, it traces the historical development of color technologies and their impact onscreen. Incorporating vivid images of color films throughout history—Serpentine Dance, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Fantasia, The Red Shoes, Vertigo, West Side Story, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Moonlight and more, as well as new multispectral scans of rare silent-era film prints—this essential volume celebrates color’s enduring influence on the medium of film.

Summary:
En plus de trente années d'une carrière hors normes, depuis les rivages d'un continent isolé où une culture encore neuve côtoie les paysages les plus anciens et les mieux préservés de la planète, Glenn Murcutt a développé une architecture domestique originale. Simples, raffinées, expressives, les quelque cinq cents maisons qu'il a conçues pour son Australie natale sont considérées aujourd'hui comme les exemples les plus probants de ce que pourrait être une " architecture écologique ". Influencée par la philosophie de Henry David Thoreau comme par le minimalisme de Mies van der Rohe, par les constructions vernaculaires australiennes comme par les leçons d'Alvar Aalto, son architecture se veut une forme de " traduction du paysage " dans lequel elle s'inscrit, modelée par le concept d'économie qui la fonde - économie d'espace, d'énergie, de matériaux... L'attribution, en 2002, du prix Pritzker (le Nobel de l'architecture) à ce praticien inclassable témoigne de l'écho que rencontrent aujourd'hui ces questions dans les cénacles internationaux Ce livre cherche à donner à voir et à comprendre cet œuvre singulier en élucidant ses origines, ses ressorts et sa portée. Un essai critique approfondi analyse le parcours, le mode de travail et les idées de Glenn Murcutt, et dégage les raisons de son importance dans le panorama de l'architecture d'aujourd'hui. Une section largement illustrée présente ensuite en détail trente-trois de ses projets et bâtiments réalisés entre 1968 et 2001.

Summary:
After the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York on September 11th 2001, the photographer Joel Meyerowitz felt compelled to visit the site. On his return Meyerowitz soon made his way to the scene where, upon raising his camera, he was reminded by a police officer that this was a crime scene and that no photographs were allowed. Meyerowitz duly left the scene but within a few blocks the officer’s reminder had turned into consciousness. To Meyerowitz, ‘no photographs meant no history’ and he decided at that moment to find a way in and make an archive for the City of New York. Within days he had established strong links with many of the firefighters, policemen and construction workers contributing to the clean up. With their assistance he became the only photographer to be granted unimpeded access to Ground Zero. Once there he systematically began to document the wreckage followed by the necessary demolition, excavation and removal of tens of thousands of tonnes of debris that would transform the site from one of total devastation to level ground. Soon after the Museum of the City of New York officially engaged Meyerowitz to create an archive of the destruction and recovery at Ground Zero. The 9/11 Photographic Archive numbers in excess of 5,000 images and will become part of the permanent collections of the Museum of the City of New York.
